Filmmaker/writer Galt Niederhoffer has accused her former partner of plotting to poison her in court papers submitted as part of the former couple's custody battle over their two-year-old son. Niederhoffer, who has produced films including Robot & Frank, After.Life and The Romantics, which was based on her novel of the same name, is currently locked in an ugly court battle with her former partner Jonathan Gordon.
The former couple is warring over custody of their son, and Niederhoffer has filed court papers in which she alleges lawyer Gordon, 40, attempted to kill her by lacing her food with arsenic.
In the documents, which were filed with a court in Brooklyn, New York, and obtained by the New York Daily News, Niederhoffer, 38, alleges tests also found "high levels of arsenic" in her blood.
As part of her custody battle she has included affidavits from friends including movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who calls her "a loving and devoted mother".
Niederhoffer lost custody of her little boy last month (Jan15) and is fighting to get him back.
Her novel A Taxonomy of Barnacles is set to become a new film starring Alan Rickman, Katie Holmes, Evan Rachel Wood and Zosia Mamet.

"Mozart was a the first rock 'n' roller. I listened to some of his music and I can hear Radiohead in there... I would be a Mozart groupie; I'd put on a wig, I'd take him under the piano, it would be super-hot." Evan Rachel Wood admits to a crush on late composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Actress Evan Rachel Wood was pranked by her Ides of March co-star George Clooney at the Venice Film Festival in Italy when he persuaded her to go for a late night swim fully clothed by insisting he'd join her in the pool. The gullible star was still on a high after serenading Clooney and her castmates in a karaoke bar and thought nothing of diving into the hotel pool when Clooney told her it was traditional for the cast to go for a late-night dip.
She says, "After I sang, I was kinda on this high, this adrenaline rush... so I jumped in the pool in my gown and no one followed me... He (Clooney) said the whole cast was gonna do it.
"I ended up in there alone, but I just went, 'Oh, whatever', and I was, like, having this amazing cathartic moment, floating in this pool in this gown, and then this security guard's head just came into frame and the moment was ruined and I got in trouble and I got kicked out.
"I had to return that dress to the designer and I don't think they knew, until probably right now, that that happened."

Marilyn Manson will always be grateful to pal Billy Corgan for attempting to warn him about dating actress Rose Mcgowan. The shock rocker tells Esquire magazine the Smashing Pumpkins leader sent him a polite letter at the height of his romance with the Charmed star, and urged his friend to dump her for the sake of his career.
Manson recalls, "He wrote a strongly-worded letter about how Rose McGowan would ruin my life and ruin my career if I stayed with her, which was good advice, and he wrote it as a letter, which is very polite.
"There is sort of a guy code that I abide by where he totally offered his advice, and he was genuinely just looking out for my best interests. I hadn't seen him in 15 years. I had forgotten how close we were, having not seen him in so long.
"He's the one who taught me how to play guitar, so if it sucks or it's good, it's his fault."
Manson broke off his engagement to McGowan in 2001. The actress wed artist Davey Detail in October, 2013, while Manson has enjoyed a string of high-profile romances with the likes of Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood.

Summary

An exceptionally gifted actress, Evan Rachel Wood specialized in playing girls who had often seen and experienced too much at very early ages. She first gained attention while still in grade school on the cult TV series "American Gothic" (CBS, 1995-96) and "Once And Again" (ABC, 1999-2002), before wowing critics with her portrayal of a young girl who dives headlong into sex and drugs in the disturbing indie drama, "Thirteen" (2003), for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. After that star-making performance, Wood alternated between mainstream Hollywood features and independent productions, though the latter remained her bread and butter with turns in "Down in the Valley" (2006), "Running with Scissors" (2006) and "Across the Universe" (2007). She delivered another sterling performance, this time opposite Mickey Rourke as his estranged daughter in "The Wrestler" (2009), before landing the recurring role of a vampire queen for the second and third seasons of the hit show "True Blood" (HBO, 2008- ). By the time she earned critical applause for "Mildred Pierce" (HBO, 2011), Wood was already well-established as a talented young actress who time and again impressed audiences alike with her mature and complex performances.
